Yes, it's photoshopped. There's no zombies wearing Australian shirts, and Nick doesn't wear a hat with an England flag. IGN was the first to announce the cricket bat, or at least with a picture, and it was by a British folk by the name of Orlando Parfitt. In his article on IGN it reads,

AND ONCE AGAIN, OUR HERO, ABYSS, HAS SAVED THE DAY!

Thank you Abyss! I was actually about run my head through a wall in frustration, and after I arose from unconsciousness I was going to write a long drawn out post about how people cant remember stuff from 2 months ago.

You saved me alot of time lol.

Pretty sure this Photoshopped pic was created to poke fun at Australia when they announced (initially) that they would refuse to give L4D2 a rating, effectively banning it in Australia.

Incorrect.

This was made weeks before any announcements to do with the Australians ratings BS.

Cricket bat was announced. England were due to face Australia. British IGN editor has idea. End.

I think it's pretty obvious that the stray helmet was photoshopped to an almost comical level. Quick, charging uncommon infected that take multilple bullets to kill would be good fun to combat, though. I don't think the football helmet should add health or defense, but rather just have the zombie in general take a good few hits before going down.

It's a cricket helmet. Jesus, I don't know how many times it has to be said by how many people, but it's a freaking cricket helmet. The graphic was produced by IGN UK at the start of the Ashes campaign nearly three months ago.

If you want to talk about the merits of potential SI or UCIs, there's a thread for that.

/thread.

EDIT: that's at the thread in general, not just you, Dan.
